The Choir hails from Cuba's third city, Camagüey, an old colonial town which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008 for its iconic architecture, where the singers have studied music to university level and are members of the Provincial Choir, which their leader Emilia Chavez directs. Desandann (the original Cuban name of The Creole Choir of Cuba) emerged out of this choir in 1994, a difficult time for Cubans when the economy fell into a black hole following the end of the USSR and of Soviet support for the revolution. Food was in short supply, while homes and work places often went dark due to lack of electricity. The singers decided to re-forge the resistance songs and laments of their forebears and to celebrate the history of their Haitian descendants.

BBC - Spinning a Yarn: The Dubious History of Scottish Tartan (2013) Movies

Posted by notbanned at May 4, 2019

Queen Victoria was mad for it and Harry Lauder was clad in it. It's inextricably woven into the history of Scotland, from Bonnie Prince Charlie to the Tartan Army, and has been used to advertise many political and cultural affinities. Tartan is a fabric that tells tales, but not all of them are true. Moray Hunter narrates the story of tartan's murky past and colourful present, taking in the Englishmen who forged a guide to clan tartans, Walter Scott's tartan pageant of 1822 and the 21st-century Scottish Register of Tartans.

Features 24 bit remastering and comes with a mini-description. A fine showcase for Chico Hamilton as a triple-threat artist: drummer extraordinaire ("Miss Movement," "Trinkets," etc.), vocalist ("She's Funny That Way," "The Best Things in Life Are Free," "Where or When"), and, of course, leader. His vocals are reminiscent of Nat King Cole, with subtleties all his own, and his drumming is just as impressive amid its own set of superlatives, many of which are shown off on the Hamilton originals "Happy Little Dance" and "Trinkets."

CBC The Fifth Estate - The Strange World of Julian Assange (2013) Movies

Posted by notbanned at Feb. 15, 2017

Some have called for his assassination; still others have called him an angel. Either way, almost everyone has an opinion on Julian Assange. And now the story of his rise as the head of one of the more prolific whistle blowing organizations ever is getting the Hollywood treatment. The feature film “The Fifth Estate,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch as a sometimes callous but always complicated Julian Assange, tells the story of WikiLeaks from its early obscurity to near world domination and eventual decline. Inevitably, the script for the film was leaked to Assange and WikiLeaks and they were not happy with what they read, posting an open letter response to the film.

Posted by Tutorial at Dec. 2, 2020

Writers and historians give their own unique interpretations on the last days of Anne Boleyn, one of the most famous and controversial women in British history. In 1536 she became the first queen in Britain's history to be executed. The brutal speed of her downfall and the astonishing nature of the charges against her - treason, adultery, even incest - retain their power to shock. We know how Anne died but the story of why she had to go and who authored her violent end has been the subject of fiery debate across six centuries.
